>>288000>I'm not christian but you single them out.The OP and this thread is titled "Why do muslims cry about the Crusades?".Christianity is implied heavily by this.

>Telling me that single death is a tragedy million a statisticNo, you fucking imbecile, telling you that one evil cant be excused by bringing up another.Just like you do later when you bring in atheism.I dont give a fuck about any of it, you are excusing one genocide with another. This is morally bankrupt.

Which was part of communism. Communism and atheism are not one and the same thing. Just because the communists called themselves the representatives of the whole of atheism, that doesn't make it so. For instance, Ayn Rand was also an atheist, yet I don't think she would have agree with these people

See how massivelh you reky on confirmation, and how you ignore everything to the contrary? You've just proven your own massive confirmation bias yourself

>>288038Not to mention there was never a communist state with a population of atheists comparable to western Europe's I predict someone will say China and ignore that Chinese folk religions are counted as non religions by western census

>The Soviet Union used the term gosateizm, a syllabic abbreviation of "state" (gosudarstvo) and "atheism" (ateizm), to refer to a policy of expropriation of religious property, publication of information against religion and the official promotion of anti-religious materials in the education system. Governments that have implemented official policies of anti-clericalism oppose religious institutional power and influence in all aspects of public and political life, including the involvement of religion in the everyday life of the citizen.

the communists aimed to break the power of all religious institutions and eventually replace religious belief with atheism. "Science" was counterposed to "religious superstition" in the media and in academic writing.

Thus the USSR became the first state to have, as an ideological objective, the elimination of religion and its replacement with universal atheism

Article 37 of the Albanian Constitution of 1976 stipulated, "The state recognizes no religion, and supports atheistic propaganda in order to implant a scientific materialistic world outlook in people.", and the penal code of 1977 imposed prison sentences of three to ten years for "religious propaganda and the production, distribution, or storage of religious literature. Individuals caught with Bibles, Qurans, icons, or other religious objects faced long prison sentences. Religious weddings were prohibited.

>>288081As the literary monthly Nendori reported the event, the youth had thus "created the first atheist nation in the world."

State atheism has been defined by David Kowalewski as the official "promotion of atheism" by a government, typically by active suppression of religious freedom and practice. It is a misnomer referring to a government's anti-clericalism, which opposes religious institutional power and influence, real or alleged, in all aspects of public and political life, including the involvement of religion in the everyday life of the citizen.

State atheism was first practised during a brief period in Revolutionary France and repeated only in Revolutionary Mexico and some communist states. The Soviet Union had a long history of state atheism, in which social success largely required individuals to profess atheism, stay away from churches and even vandalize them; this attitude was especially militant during the middle Stalinist era from 1929-1939. The Soviet Union attempted to suppress religion over wide areas of its influence, including places like central Asia, and the Socialist People's Republic of Albania under Enver Hoxha went so far as to officially ban all religious practices.

>>288129>Tu quoqueHow is that Tu quoque at all? I am not saying that you are wrong, because you are immoral.I am saying that you are wrong, because you make no point whatsoever.You are excusing one evil by bringing up another.

>>288129>You still have not denounced islamHow is denouncing islam a requirement in order to argue?How can I be an atheist and a muslim at the same time, since you accuse me of both?Again, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>288146>So the kitman comes out>you had no problem attacking christians>but refuse to comment on muslims>very interesting

You are delusional. I am a humanist. I despise all genocide. I condemn all of them.Yet here I am, in a thread where you are trying to excuse christian genocide.So I attack that, because its that which you are defending.

>>288020>be rohingya>try to do your prayers every day because you want to go to musilm heaven>don't know shit about radical islam because you don't even know how to read and no one even bother to tell you>everyone arround you hates you for some reason>burmese won't let you get food because muh ethical purity>thai will help you pass the border and then shoot you for the lulz after taking the 5 bucks you saved during your whole life>malay seamen will do the same and put you in lifeboats with holes in the hull halfway through>what do?>die

From "Inventing the Crusades". An article by Thomas Madden; one of the foremost scholars on the crusades:

Riley-Smith describes the profound effect that Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Talisman had on European and therefore Middle Eastern opinion of the Crusades. Crusaders such as Richard the Lionhearted were portrayed as boorish, brutal, and childish, while Muslims, particularly Saladin, were tolerant and enlightened gentlemen of the nineteenth century. With the collapse of Ottoman power and the rise of Arab nationalism at the end of the nineteenth century, Muslims bound together these two strands of Crusade narrative and created a new memory in which the Crusades were only the first part of Europe’s assault on Islam—an assault that continued through the modern imperialism of European powers. Europeans reintroduced Saladin, who had been nearly forgotten in the Middle East, and Arab nationalists then cleansed him of his Kurdish ethnicity to create a new anti-Western hero. We saw the result during the run-up to the Iraq War, when Saddam Hussein portrayed himself as a new Saladin who would expel the new Crusaders.

Arab nationalists made good use of the new story of the Crusades during their struggles for independence. Their enemies, the Islamists, then took over the same tool. Osama bin Laden is only the most recent Islamist to adopt this useful myth to characterize the actions of the West as a continual Crusade against Islam.

That is the Crusades’ only connection with modern Islamist terrorism. And yet, so ingrained is this notion that the Crusades began the modern European assault on Islam that many moderate Muslims still believe it. Riley-Smith recounts : “I recently refused to take part in a television series, produced by an intelligent and well-educated Egyptian woman, for whom a continuing Western crusade was an article of faith. Having less to do with historical reality than with reactions to imperialism, the nationalist and Islamist interpretations of crusade history help many people, moderates as well as extremists, to place the exploitation they believe they have suffered in a historical context and to satisfy their feelings of both superiority and humiliation.”
